He was charged with misdemeanor assault with bodily injury, a Class A misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $2,000 fine.

Robertson`s wife, Jacquelin, 29, told county sheriff`s investigators she refused to let her husband in their house after he returned home Monday from a trip with another woman.

Robertson went to the back of the house and smashed a window to get in, reports said. He then followed his wife upstairs and later to the garage, where he grabbed her hand ``and struck it against the concrete floor``

injuring the left side of her hand, sheriff`s reports said.

Mrs. Robertson, who reportedly was treated and released from Methodist Hospital, filed a complaint with the sheriff`s department, officials said.
